Crystal Palace are ready to offer Swansea City forward Michu the chance to return to the Premier League, according to reports.
The Spaniard, who made a big impact upon joining the South Wales club in 2012, is currently on-loan at Napoli.
However, the Daily Mail claims that Napoli are willing to allow Michu leave in January after an unimpressive stint at the San Paolo, where he has failed to score in five appearances.
The 28-year-old is set to undergo surgery on his ankle, but is likely to return in the second half of the season and could be an option for Palace in the New Year.
Michu's opportunities at Swansea became limited when manager Garry Monk opted to play Wilfried Bony in attack, while the signing of Bafetimbi Gomis appears to have pushed him further down the pecking order at the Liberty Stadium.
Palace are also reported to be interested in Gomis, but the Eagles may be put off by the Frenchman's £7m price tag.
